Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, also called as gas tungsten welding 1. (a) Schematic of TIG welding Process (b) Variety of tungsten electrodes. The activated TIG (ATIG) welding process mainly focuses on increasing the depth of penetration and the reduction in the width of weld bead has not been paid. Tungsten inert gas welding, TIG is widely applied in manufacturing process for different The ...

in this paper, thermal effect of plasma arc welding is investigated, and temperature field of ferrite stainless steel is acquired. thermal effect of plasma arc and subsequently the generated temperature field in the work piece is the key for analysis and optimization of this welding process, which is the main goal of this paper. finite element simulation of welding process by simplec method and...

ABSTRACT The application of on-line monitoring system for recording main welding parameters during electric arc stud welding process at different electric arc stability changes is described in this paper. In the first part of the paper, the basics of electric arc stud welding process, and equipment for stud welding and process monitoring used in experimental part is described. In the second par...

A system is presented that allows the visualization of the whole welding process. Factors that can lead to bad welds can be monitored. Methods to optimize the welding process are outlined and a possible "on-line control" is discussed. In addition, schemes are presented for the analysis of the welding process to identify defects in the welding equipment that will cause faulty welds.

Resistance spot welding is an important and widely used method for joining metal objects. In this paper, various classification methods for identifying welding processes are evaluated. Using process identification, a similar process for a new welding experiment can be found among the previously run processes, and the process parameters leading to high-quality welding joints can be applied. With...

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) or Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) is one of the widely used techniques for joining ferrous and non-ferrous metal.Gas tungsten arc welding process,consist of non-consumable tungsten electrode which is used to provide the arc for welding. During the welding cycle a shield of inert gas expels the air from the welding area and prevents oxidation of the electrode, w...

This study proposes a method for determining the near-optimal settings of welding process parameters using a controlled random search (CRS) wherein the near-optimal settings of the welding process parameters are determined through experiments. The method suggested in this study is used to determine the welding process parameters by which the desired weld bead geometry is formed in gas metal arc...

In an effort to increase a productivity of welding process and to reduce the impact to workers from industrial disaster, the research in the field of welding automation is sharply increasing in shipbuilding industry. DSME had developed and successfully applied a welding robot system for grand assembly line in OKPO shipyard in 1997 and has recently developed multi welding robot system for the su...

Submerged arc welding is preferred over other methods of welding because of its inherent qualities like easy control of process variables, high quality, deep penetration, smooth finish, capability to weld thicker sections. Since the development of submerged arc welding process, welding engineers are striving for reduction in welding cost without compromise in the performance of the weld. Flux u...

A new welding helmet for the manual welding process has been developed. The welders working conditions are improved by augmenting the visual information before and during welding. The image is improved providing a better view of the working area. An online quality assistant is available during welding, suggesting the correction of the guns position or pointing out welding errors, by analyzing t...
